  1. Apple didn’t manufacture Apple A4, it was Samsung who manufactured it. Apple designed it (source). Also, Apple haven’t said exactly what clock speed the A4 is running inside of the i4. It may have been down clocked to extend battery life.
  2. This is a curious one, as I have only seen the screen pitted against the 3GS. I can read sites fine on my Desire.
  3. Coming to the Desire, and I do believe the Nexus One already has it (via hack). But can see it coming officially.
  4. And what exactly? I have seen nothing that says that this will improve the phones reception & maintaining signal.
  5. HTC Desire has 5 MP camera…? AFAIK neither have released more details on what the lens or sensor is.

I don’t say what I say to be ‘edgy’ and ‘cool’. I say it because it my opinion. And never once did I say I was right.

I do give credit where credit is due. I give credit to the fact that Apple has pretty much imploded the smartphone market. Without the iPhone I can’t have seen the plethora of smartphones we have on the market now. Same goes for tablets devices (iPad) and media players (iPod).

What I do hate (and no I don't hate Apple as you imply) is that all logic and sense of reason go out the window when Apple are involved.

1. Thats what i meant Apple designed, its their own CPU

2. So you can read websites with small print zoomed all the way out?

I can barely read that on my 1920x1200 monitor let alone on a 800x480 screen. On the iPhone 4s screen text on websites zoomed all the way out are clearly legible.

3. It should be designed for 720p video capture from the start not patched in half assed later on, from what little information ive gleaned this is totally my own opinion but the iPhone 4 will have a better CMOS sensor than any of the HTC phones out now from my experience of HTC phones going all the way back to the HTC Canary in 2001/2002 with its add on camera dongle.

4. So you dont think an external antenna that runs the whole way around half of the phone wont boost reception compared to an internal smaller antenna?

5. Again in my opinion the iPhone will have a way better CMOS sensor than anything HTC has.

What vacuum of logic, sense or reason have i displayed in this thread?

Im going off hardware facts not some silly fanboy loyalism, the iPhone is more advanced than any phone on the market no matter how much you try and justify the money you spent on the clearly inferior Desire.

1. Meant and said are two different things ;)

2. In landscape mode yes, perfectly readable. Portrait no. But again, I have only seen the new "retina display" compared against the older 3GS. Nothing newer.

3. Samsung Galaxy S ;)

4. My original statement still stands, I haven't seen anything that says it will improve reception. Anything I or you say is purely opinion and guesstimate, untill we actually have facts.

5. Exactly, your opinion. Considering we don't have any hardcore facts to go on.

And I chose not to answer your last sentence/statement, because it says more about you than me :)

Edit* Forget to say, I never said you personally showed any lack of reason, sense or logic.

I dunno, what's weird is that they've pretty much stopped talking on Twitter. At least Vodafone are still talking (allbeit giving the "We dont know when" line).

Hang on, there is this page if that is what you are looking for?

Edit* No it isn't. Just a very generic table of price plans. Nothing in-depth like Orange's.

So £480 on Orange PAYG.... that's not £450.

Considering you have to buy £10 top up with the phone that means it's £490 and then another £10 charge on top to unlock the phone straight away and it's £500. So it makes sense getting it from Apple.

I don't think you have to top up £10, looks like it's included to me.

Also is the 'Monkey' tariff new, it gives free streaming music & texts.

Has to be said: told you so :p O2 will no doubt have a P&G price up today or very soon too.

If they ask me to buy another sim with it though I'll explain I'm already an O2 customer and they can phone to check with them :yes: Either that or I'll make sure I buy from my mate in the Apple Store :p Also, with Simplicity on O2 you can unlock iPhones for free using their request site :happy:

Oh no, you've saved a whole 10 quid buying a locked payandgo from orange :p >.>

O2 prices are much better than Oranges (contract) - especially on 18 month tariffs.

Agreed, Oranges 18 Month Contracts are shocking! I went into my local Orange Shop this afternoon (as I have a contract with them at present) and asked them about what the situation is with the iPhone 4 on the 24th with them, can I pre order one on PAYG?! Will they even have any PAYG handsets in?!

All I got was that they are opening at 8am and probably best to come in then as they don't know anything at this moment in time........

Btw, I have decided I'm buying a PAYG iPhone 4.

Pay & Go tariffs

You may know this, but you don't need a monthly contract to get an iPhone. iPhone 4 will be coming soon to Pay & Go but it won't be available at launch. When we have more information on pricing we will let you know.

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.

      By Copernic · Posted

      Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 by Razvan Serea Subtitle Edit is a powerful, free, and user-friendly subtitle editing tool designed for creating, editing, and converting subtitles for videos. It supports a wide range of subtitle formats, including SRT, ****, and SUB, allowing users to easily modify and adjust subtitles for accurate timing and formatting. With its intuitive interface, Subtitle Edit provides a variety of features such as waveform audio display, spell-check, subtitle synchronization, and real-time video preview, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and professionals. The software also includes powerful tools for batch processing, translating subtitles, and converting between different subtitle formats. Subtitle Edit features: Create/adjust/sync/translate subtitle lines Convert between SubRib, MicroDVD, Advanced Sub Station Alpha, Sub Station Alpha, D-Cinema, SAMI, youtube sbv, and many more (300+ different formats!) Cool audio visualizer control - can display wave form and/or spectrogram Video player uses mpv, DirectShow, or VLC media player Visually sync/adjust a subtitle (start/end position and speed) Audio to text (speech recognition) via Whisper or Vosk/Kaldi Auto Translation via Google translate Rip subtitles from a (decrypted) dvd Import and OCR VobSub sub/idx binary subtitles Import and OCR Blu-ray .sup files - bd sup reading is based on Java code from BDSup2Sub Can open subtitles embedded inside Matroska files Can open subtitles (text, closed captions, VobSub) embedded inside mp4/mv4 files Can open/OCR XSub subtitles embedded inside divx/avi files Can open/OCR DVB and teletext subtitles embedded inside .ts/.m2ts (Transport Stream) files Can open/OCR Blu-ray subtitles embedded inside .m2ts (Transport Stream) files Merge/split subtitles Adjust display time Fix common errors wizard....and more. Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.

      At least AMD is still taking Windows 10 seriously (after the oops) before it consumer extended support ends. @WaltC - Memories, 2x Voodoo in SLI with a Riva TNT with an Aureal A3D soundcard.
